The more i learn about Advaita, the more pleasure i get. Its a different kind of joy and is nothing like the sensory pleasures that we get from wordly objects. Before i was a dualist (a devotee) but it didn't give me the kind of joy or satisfaction that im recieving right now by learning more about non-dualism. Thanks to swami ji for explaining it so beautifully.

@pauldirac. Just go and understand. Watch swamiji video or any other video. Read astavakra gita. Watch acharya prashant. Eatch different people. Read Krishnmurti.
I don't get any benefit or joy from advaita. I get joy from devotion to Goddess. Sri Ramakrishna said that bhakti and Tantra are the main paths for this age , not advaita. They completely hijacked and distorted Ramakrishna's teachings. There were tantril sects who did not accept law of karma

Knowledge and wisdom at its best! I needed to fully focus to understand the meaning! In Hinduism, we have everything. Just need to spread it to everyone so that together we can make this world beautiful.
It's not knowledge OR wisdom, it's a radical opinion about some invisible being that nobody can prove exists. An excuse for accepting shit happening. There's NO karma for terrible evil things happening, it's not god's will... What a shitty god that clown would be anyway. Is he even in charge? Absolute Nonsense.
Today i got the answer to my long pending question. Question that how we can go beyond law of karma so that none that we do (karma) come back. How the yogi could burn their karma? In reality they dont burn anything but they are in constant state of Turiya hence nothing effects them. Thank you so much for clearing my doubts.
It is easier to understand this in the context of computer science. An end-user cannot understand what is happening at the hardware and software level much less the movement of electrons just by looking at the graphics on the screen.
Excellent answe. The answer to this comes from Vyavaharika concept of brahma or emperocal point of view, as opposed to the paramardhika point of view, or absolute point of view into which karma does not fit into. This is illustrated with help of story of raja janak who one day while he was sleeping had a dream wherein he was being chased by enemies into a jungle, Raja janak was feeling tired and exhausted and craving for wareer and food. In the the dream he was offered food by a stranger . Raja was afraid somebody would snatch this away from him, so he went into a corner and was beginning to have his food when someone gave him a huge knock on his head and upon this the Raja gave a huge scream and woke up from the dream. When he woke up he was surrounded by the servants ànd the king asked them whether they had seen what he had seen. The servants answered in the negative and the king started wondering what is the truth. His being chased into the jungle by enemies was true, or that he was in his palace true. So next day in the court he asked his most enlightened pandit Yagnàvalkiyà what is the truth. Then yagna valkya Said that what the king saw in the dreams was VYAVAHARIKA satya and the other state where he is in palace is PARAMARDHIKA satya.
Swamiji, Pranams. I am extremely grateful to you for having made this complex subject simple enough for me to comprehend. many of my questions got answered listening to this lecture. i have been following many of your lectures and i wish i could meet you one day to offer my pranams. i have no words to express my feelings and appreciation.

Absolutely marvellous. This short clip has removed my doubts about the problem of evil that exists in this world, despite the principles of Advait Vedanta. Law of Karma is applicable at the level of Transactional reality which Swamiji has explained beautifully with examples.Please accept my gratitude for this.
So long as there are traces of the ego in us, so long as there are vasanas in the chitta even though we have realize that we are the consciousness there is no liberation and also suffering will continue in some degree (depends on the remnants of the egoic tendencies).
If Turiyam is a not involved in Karma, and it is eternal then who takes re-births and bear the fruit of past karma? Both body & mind are destroyed after death.
@@sagor777 Quite not if you were paying close attention. But you were not apparently. What he just explained is the burden of being self conscious from a rather different perspective. Essentially it is where the human miseries start from.

Everywhere there is energy to purify the heart Karma exists to bring about purity of mind all action exists to bring about wisdom which is the awakening of the mind
Swami ji, your explanation is always leading to the Ultimate consciousness or pure Consciousness. Does it imply that every single person in the world who suffers from Physical or mental illness is undergoing what is not real. Should he or she be left to himself or herself Is compassion an unreal emotion? Swamiji, please guide me, I am looking bewildered, as to how is to be TREATED as unreal? If vyavhar or transactional world exists( though constantly changing), then my fellow beings pain does affect the self. This is how even animals behave.
There are two standpoints in advaita. One vyavaharik and the other paramarthik. From the paramarthik(ultimate) standpoint there is no such thing as compassion or anything, for you are the all prevading Self. Whom should you be compassionate for? But in the relative sense (vyavaharik) all of this has an interdependent existence. So yes you should work to help others uplift themselves. Doing so, you will purify your own mind as well as benefit others physically. This will furthur help you understand that you are not the body, nor the mind, nor the aggregate of tendencies.
To answer you question is that every single animal or plant in this universe is experiencing that which is not real. Make them realise that it's not real after realising it yourself. Thus this delusion of suffering will end when everyone realises that they are one with that Absolute
I don't know how to change my life around... I watch this video and what arises in me is overwhelm and stress. my dream life feels 999-trillion universes away from my reality: - I have minimal work (I live in poverty, always have) - the place I rent is old, old and teeny tiny-tiny-tiny - I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but... - I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love - fat and diabetic - old now, no longer attractive - no friends - always a million-trillion stressful things to do...
Exactly. Most people haven’t truly cleared enough karma (illusions), in general to be able to thus “escape”the law of karma. That is why ultimate truth is as such, but can’t truly be applied to everyone. If one hasn’t truly cleared their “karmas”, the proper way, just thinking of “karma” doesn’t exist is essentially a form of “spiritual bypassing”. That is what I have been trying to tell people. I can’t exactly tell you how karma truly works, you have to figure it out on your own, as what applies to my specific life, might be truly different from yours. It’s not just the same exact acts that generate the same exact karma. 🙏 I have been thinking exactly about how to truly tell people this, with a simulated situation of such situations in my mind. Because karma is truly not real in ultimate truth, but at the “level” that most people are in, karma exists as they still have karma (in the illusions of karma). and I can’t exactly also tell them what exact “stuff” in what karma, as it’s not that absolute as a certain fixed form. This has to be figured on alone. If it was truly that “straightforward”, everyone generally would already be “karma”-free already. and also, thus, don’t assume that it’s exactly a certain fixed form as certain karmas, thus thinking that someone that perhaps do certain acts as definitely getting “bad karma” (for example), but then those people didn’t actually truly get in in the exact ways that one might perceive, in fact, the “perceiver” of this, might actually be getting more “bad karma” with certain specific (for example thoughts of it as well). Because the idea of karma is truly not that straightforward, thus, there are many “layers” of karma. Essentially, karma is illusion as a general idea, and so, the key is that we just need to figure out, based on generally our personal life experiences (of somewhat proper “empirical” testing - my personal method, I’m not saying it’s the best and only method - karma theme here), of what karma truly is, based off our own karmas as well. 🙏
I don’t know why but when I dreaming I know I am dreaming cause if I cause warm on myself it doesn’t hurt. This is how I know I am still dreaming when I have realist dreams
He answered it perfectly from a theoretical point of view. The question is critical. Just because karma is widely believed, this is not real evidence of it's truth. Also, the mechanism of karma's action requires the enduring reality of individual mind/subtle body across death. Cause and effect, that side of karma appears evidenced in worldly perception. But there is no credible evidence of a personal soul, Ishwarra or other deity to judge each 'individual' act, or post death personal incarnation. This is a socially derived mass behavioral regulation concept only. All is perfect, performed by no one. Illusion is not real.
The problem with this is so little people can just choose to be in a state of Turiya or the Ultimate therefore moving beyond it and karma. Until there is no trace of karma or ego then we are not fully free of it. So lots of people here seem to be commenting as if knowing the ultimate reality intellectually grants them being there, hence being free of karma. That isn’t true. This is why realizing the importance of karma is so important. We can’t just skip the relative reality because it sounds nice, and yes if we try to it can and may lead to ethical and moral problems. I just worry that some people here think they can think something and then instantly be it.
Thank you so much!!!!!! I was never was never able to understand that Aatman is the basis of all the apparent reality which I studied in Upnishadas but today, the way you explained it, like, without the real desert mirage can't form, without the real rope we can not perceive the snake. It kind of opened my eyes today. I feel like I successfully understood a tiny fraction of endless, I understood a bit of the immense irrational.
In Greek mythologies, Pandora Box was opened, with word left on the bottom : H+O+P+E (44) = K+A+R+M+A (44)…. with letters as numbers... if you know , what I mean....
👋👏 Divine gradation of Truth/ Reality summed up so beautifully in Srimadbhagvat Gita: " OM INDRIYANI PRANHYAHOO, INDEREBHYA PARAM MANAH:, MANASASTU PARA BUDHIRYO, BUDHE PARASASTU SAHAH:"
This world becomes Nandan wan, Sansar becomes a garden of happiness. This seems to be also echoed by Sadguru, when he asks what is the proof that you are not already in heaven and has made a hell out of it. Pranam Swami jee
The dream part which he explained, I have an opinion on this. To me, it you experience a dream, its actually your collection memories which you experienced in this reality, reflects in your dream when you sleep. Yes, you will experience pain in dream when you get stabbed, its because it just reflect the reality as you experienced in the reality. Does anyone oppose me on this statement?
I have a follow up question which I'm sure has an answer -- if karma applies only within the waking reality, then why bother to do good karma? If the ultimate reality is Brahman, then why does it matter what "i" do in "my" reality? Isnt it like trying to do good in a dream, when it really doesn't matter one way or other in a dream.
Thank you Swamiji! 🙏🏻 It's good to remember that Buddhism also accepts karma only in relative reality. Ultimately, karma, merit and it's results do not truly exist. Shunyata.
Swami ji 🙏🏽 for the beautiful explanation! If the law of karma does not affect the real us (the Brahman) what is the explanation for how practicing karma yoga can lead us to the realization of our true self (the Brahman)? 🙏🏽
@daniel barucha Energy (universe) is very much real even though creation/sustenance/dissolution cycle happens. Ever heard of first law of thermodynamics? Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another. Advaita is INCOMPLETE without Dvaita - universe (which has duality everywhere mediated by consciousness or shiva). In other words, without shiva there is no shakthi (energy/universe) and without shakthi there is no shiva. Both shiva and shakthi cannot exist without each other. Moksha is nothing but to become one with the cosmos.
Swamiji, Asking few questions out of my ignorance: 1) Don't you think in reality if there is no law of Karma, then everyone is free to do adharma? 2) It doesn't take a big deal to accept that everything is unreal and we are all brahman, But what after that? Basically what does one do after getting enlightened? 3) In many lectures, you have mentioned the importance of devotion. Even Adi Shankaracharya, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa were devotees, and infact 99% of advaitans I know say they are devotees and behave like dualists, then why do you think Bhakti is not superior to Advaita philosophy? Why don't Advaitans become athesists? 4)If everything we see, do or hear in this material world(which in itself is unreal), how do we believe the knowledge of Advaita or Dwaita or anything else from any guru is real???
The word Karma commonly refers to the cycle of forces which is regulated by the law of cause and effect This law gives an opportunity to the individual to learn purity
Its because the dreamer whose quality is consciousness performs out of intention, which manifests as reason and becomes purpose once acted upon. The desire of the atman is to experience its connected and grow to chitta by connecting to paramatman, our own awareness and the awareness of the universe though appearing seperate and actung seperately, does karma through dharma resulting in.gyana to connect to it vyavaharika wise. This dharma is necessary for the spirit. When I said qualities, I was not talking about good and bad, i'd say its about characteristics
sharauro its because half assed understanding is dangerous so we clarify it. Many people may just see one part of it which appeals to their prejudices and then ignore the other side which is a carelessness that comes with a cost for the one who teaches
Karma, birth, rebirth or reincarnation are all in Pratibhasika Satta (relative reality)…they are related to the transmigration of the Subtle body (Sookshma sareera) from one body to another. Once you start dwelling in Paramardhika Satta (absolute reality), none of these matter anymore…for you have distanced yourself from the mind and realized your true identity which is that of witness consciousness (Saakshi-Chaitanyam). How to get to this state and remain there is through Sravana - Manana & Nidhidhyaasana- listening, deep reflection and meditation. Swamiji’s Druk-Drusya-Viveka provides an excellent portal to foray into that realm… Good luck to all in their spiritual evolution 🙏
Westerners or Indians raised in the West may struggle to comprehend the complexities of karma in Eastern religion. Nonetheless, Staju Jacob book "Karmasutra The karma of ......." provides an intricate and thorough exploration of how the karmic system functions, covering a wide range of topics without resorting to vague Eastern terminology. This book was published in 2016 and different from kama sutra (🙂)...... Hope this great book 'Karmasutra' by Staju Jacob is available soon in various Indian langauges too....I think the author is an Indian .. maybe some sort of guru or something..
If an insight is revealed to me in my dreams and that changes the course of my waking life, does that mean that a lower level of reality is affecting a higher one? While the water in the mirage does not wet the sand, it can still mislead the waking travelers.
Thank you Swami Ji ! Is it correct to say that 'enlightened beings' retain causal body which allows them to 'experience' Turiya (I am That/Tat Tvam Asi) and at the same time retain 'some amount' of individuality ?
Body vs states of Mind Sthoolashareera - with physical body during wakeup (Jagrit avastha) Sookshma shatters - body in dream State - swapnavatha Kaaran shareera - causal body - body in Deep sleep. Turiya - existence of self as background of all the other 3 states and it is the one who is witnessing experiences through other bodies. 'I' is most of the times attached to limitations of body and mind of jagrit avastha. Identifying the presence of the turiya (throughout) & representation from there is 'expression of enlightenment' Till now this is what I understand from videos of Guruji and other readings in addition to some rare experiences dreams linked to news from relatives!! Thanks, Om Namah Shivaya.
@@cbmcbm2845 Namaste! I hit the like button for your post, this is my understanding too mostly from Swamiji's videos. I request you to comment on a Q I have (may not be exactly topical, but closely related at least) - It is said, - "........ Jiva is the mind super imposed on the atman, / or the atman identified with the mind. ..........jiva is the one that attains moksha because the atman is ever liberated in all eternity......". From this, is it correct to say the karana sareera / causal body can be equated with jiva ? Is it the same as the concept of "avyaktam"... the "blankness" of deep sleep (is that correct?) ? When the deep sleeper doesn't know anything, and but when he is asked, "who didn't know anything?", and he answers, "I didnt' know anything" or better still "I knew nothing", the "I" who answers to that question..... (not the thinking I because in deep sleep there is no thought). Thanks in advance.
What he says is true. Do you remember the monk in Vietnam, Thich Quang Duc, who burned himself to death? No normal man could have done that. Only someone who had realized the truth that Swamiji is speaking of here, could have done it.
BHARATGOPAL RAJAGOPALAN you misunderstand what happened. It was not a “suicide” in the normal sense, any more than it also was not “a barbecue” as Madam Ngo disparagingly put it. It was the ultimate test of conviction in protest against the corruption and violence of a horrible regime. Would you say that Sita in her trial by fire to prove innocence was a suicide or barbecue?

The answer to this comes from
Vyavaharika concept of brahma or emperocal point of view, as opposed to the paramardhika point of view, or absolute point of view into which karma does not fit into.
This is illustrated with help of story of raja janak who one day while he was sleeping had a dream wherein he was being chased by enemies into a jungle, Raja janak was feeling tired and exhausted and craving for wareer and food. In the the dream he was offered food by a stranger . Raja was afraid somebody would snatch this away from him, so he went into a corner and was beginning to have his food when someone gave him a huge knock on his head and upon this the Raja gave a huge scream and woke up from the dream.
When he woke up he was surrounded by the servants ànd the king asked them whether they had seen what he had seen. The servants answered in the negative and the king started wondering what is the truth. His being chased into the jungle by enemies was true, or that he was in his palace true.

Then yagna valkya Said that what the king saw in the dreams was VYAVAHARIKA satya and the other state where he is in palace is PARAMARDHIKA satya.
I have read a book called FLOW. In that book he has written about the concept of Conciousness.
I think TURIYA and CONCIOUSNESS is the same thing.

There are two standpoints in advaita. One vyavaharik and the other paramarthik. From the paramarthik(ultimate) standpoint there is no such thing as compassion or anything, for you are the all prevading Self. Whom should you be compassionate for?
But in the relative sense (vyavaharik) all of this has an interdependent existence. So yes you should work to help others uplift themselves. Doing so, you will purify your own mind as well as benefit others physically. This will furthur help you understand that you are not the body, nor the mind, nor the aggregate of tendencies.
To answer you question is that every single animal or plant in this universe is experiencing that which is not real. Make them realise that it's not real after realising it yourself. Thus this delusion of suffering will end when everyone realises that they are one with that Absolute
Thanks to Swami sarvapriyananda ji
God always protect and bless you 🙏
I don't know how
to change my life around...
I watch this video
and what arises in me is overwhelm
and stress.
my dream life feels 999-trillion universes
away from my reality:
- I have minimal work (I live in poverty, always have)
- the place I rent is old, old and teeny tiny-tiny-tiny
- I have passions and talents that could make me rich, but...
- I'm single, have been my whole life, I die for true love
- fat and diabetic
- old now, no longer attractive
- no friends
- always a million-trillion stressful things to do...
It is enlightening to hear Swami explain such complex philosophy of Sankararacharya
I think the definition of the word "Real" should be stated.
real= it never starts and it never ends
Real means which does not change with time.With respect to the real everything else is changing.The real is also called absolute or truth.
Exactly, most people are confused in its technical use Vs colloquial use.
Koti koti Pranam Swami Ji 🙏🏼
Wonderful explanation swamiji👌👌❤🙏🏻
Exactly. Most people haven’t truly cleared enough karma (illusions), in general to be able to thus “escape”the law of karma. That is why ultimate truth is as such, but can’t truly be applied to everyone.
If one hasn’t truly cleared their “karmas”, the proper way, just thinking of “karma” doesn’t exist is essentially a form of “spiritual bypassing”.
That is what I have been trying to tell people. I can’t exactly tell you how karma truly works, you have to figure it out on your own, as what applies to my specific life, might be truly different from yours. It’s not just the same exact acts that generate the same exact karma. 🙏
I have been thinking exactly about how to truly tell people this, with a simulated situation of such situations in my mind. Because karma is truly not real in ultimate truth, but at the “level” that most people are in, karma exists as they still have karma (in the illusions of karma). and I can’t exactly also tell them what exact “stuff” in what karma, as it’s not that absolute as a certain fixed form. This has to be figured on alone. If it was truly that “straightforward”, everyone generally would already be “karma”-free already. and also, thus, don’t assume that it’s exactly a certain fixed form as certain karmas, thus thinking that someone that perhaps do certain acts as definitely getting “bad karma” (for example), but then those people didn’t actually truly get in in the exact ways that one might perceive, in fact, the “perceiver” of this, might actually be getting more “bad karma” with certain specific (for example thoughts of it as well). Because the idea of karma is truly not that straightforward, thus, there are many “layers” of karma.
Essentially, karma is illusion as a general idea, and so, the key is that we just need to figure out, based on generally our personal life experiences (of somewhat proper “empirical” testing - my personal method, I’m not saying it’s the best and only method - karma theme here), of what karma truly is, based off our own karmas as well. 🙏
I don’t know why but when I dreaming I know I am dreaming cause if I cause warm on myself it doesn’t hurt. This is how I know I am still dreaming when I have realist dreams
What a nice presentation. All doubts are cleared. Thank you, Maharaj.🙏
Very Beautiful lecture by Swami ji !! 🙂
Thank you Swamiji for your enlightening words !!
He answered it perfectly from a theoretical point of view. The question is critical. Just because karma is widely believed, this is not real evidence of it's truth. Also, the mechanism of karma's action requires the enduring reality of individual mind/subtle body across death. Cause and effect, that side of karma appears evidenced in worldly perception. But there is no credible evidence of a personal soul, Ishwarra or other deity to judge each 'individual' act, or post death personal incarnation. This is a socially derived mass behavioral regulation concept only. All is perfect, performed by no one. Illusion is not real.
Such a beautiful conversation
The problem with this is so little people can just choose to be in a state of Turiya or the Ultimate therefore moving beyond it and karma. Until there is no trace of karma or ego then we are not fully free of it. So lots of people here seem to be commenting as if knowing the ultimate reality intellectually grants them being there, hence being free of karma. That isn’t true. This is why realizing the importance of karma is so important. We can’t just skip the relative reality because it sounds nice, and yes if we try to it can and may lead to ethical and moral problems. I just worry that some people here think they can think something and then instantly be it.
Thank you so much!!!!!! I was never was never able to understand that Aatman is the basis of all the apparent reality which I studied in Upnishadas but today, the way you explained it, like, without the real desert mirage can't form, without the real rope we can not perceive the snake. It kind of opened my eyes today. I feel like I successfully understood a tiny fraction of endless, I understood a bit of the immense irrational.
In Greek mythologies, Pandora Box was opened, with word left on the bottom : H+O+P+E (44) = K+A+R+M+A (44)…. with letters as numbers... if you know , what I mean....
Kindly explain
Wonderful. Absolutely grateful
👋👏 Divine gradation of Truth/ Reality summed up so beautifully in Srimadbhagvat Gita:
" OM INDRIYANI PRANHYAHOO, INDEREBHYA PARAM MANAH:,
MANASASTU PARA BUDHIRYO,
BUDHE PARASASTU SAHAH:"
Very very clearly explained by Swamiji🙏Heartfelt regards and pranams Swamiji 🙏
Finally TRUTH! With deepest appreciation and gratitude!
Yeah..
Pranaams to your feet, Swamiji. Your spiritual speech is interesting
So very easy explanation...we are grateful to listen to him.
Just wow .... Thank you . Vedanta is true knowledge..... Great genius
This world becomes Nandan wan, Sansar becomes a garden of happiness. This seems to be also echoed by Sadguru, when he asks what is the proof that you are not already in heaven and has made a hell out of it. Pranam Swami jee
So wonderful a message Swamiji
I enjoy this very much, thank you 🙏
👋👏 Divine gradation of Truth/ Reality:
Hence this Truth/ Reality can be anything & everything 👏👋
The dream part which he explained, I have an opinion on this. To me, it you experience a dream, its actually your collection memories which you experienced in this reality, reflects in your dream when you sleep. Yes, you will experience pain in dream when you get stabbed, its because it just reflect the reality as you experienced in the reality. Does anyone oppose me on this statement?
To be able to undoubtedly negate the existence 'life and the universe is knowing the truth as it is.
Awesome lecture but I have many questions on Law of Karma and they are not answered in this videos
Thank you so much......Pranam Maharaj ji
Got great clarity Swamiji..pranamaas
Stunning. Such profound beauty.
I have a follow up question which I'm sure has an answer -- if karma applies only within the waking reality, then why bother to do good karma? If the ultimate reality is Brahman, then why does it matter what "i" do in "my" reality? Isnt it like trying to do good in a dream, when it really doesn't matter one way or other in a dream.
Thank You Very Much. I was looking for the answer of same question for a long time. Finally I Got The Answer ❤
Thanks you swamiji 🙏
This is what I am searching for ❤
Really wonderful! I am a regular listener of your speeches.
Wow. Thank you Swamiji!!
Thank you Swamiji! 🙏🏻 It's good to remember that Buddhism also accepts karma only in relative reality. Ultimately, karma, merit and it's results do not truly exist. Shunyata.
But even so they used this illusion for fearmongering and social control
Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna Jai Sri Ramakrishna
Wonderful thank you so very much
Swamiji, why you are not talking about quantum mechanics and holographic universe principle in support of your Advaita philosophy
Thank you Swamiji. Wonderfully explained! 🙏
I am so grateful for the explanation. Thank you.
Explained so well in simple terms
Swami ji 🙏🏽 for the beautiful explanation! If the law of karma does not affect the real us (the Brahman) what is the explanation for how practicing karma yoga can lead us to the realization of our true self (the Brahman)? 🙏🏽
Dream rock hurts dream foot. Great example. 🙏
Physical laws have affect on physical world but not on consciousness which is not physical.
@daniel barucha Energy (universe) is very much real even though creation/sustenance/dissolution cycle happens. Ever heard of first law of thermodynamics? Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but can change from one form to another. Advaita is INCOMPLETE without Dvaita - universe (which has duality everywhere mediated by consciousness or shiva). In other words, without shiva there is no shakthi (energy/universe) and without shakthi there is no shiva. Both shiva and shakthi cannot exist without each other. Moksha is nothing but to become one with the cosmos.
Swamiji, Asking few questions out of my ignorance:
1) Don't you think in reality if there is no law of Karma, then everyone is free to do adharma?
2) It doesn't take a big deal to accept that everything is unreal and we are all brahman, But what after that? Basically what does one do after getting enlightened?
3) In many lectures, you have mentioned the importance of devotion. Even Adi Shankaracharya, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa were devotees, and infact 99% of advaitans I know say they are devotees and behave like dualists, then why do you think Bhakti is not superior to Advaita philosophy? Why don't Advaitans become athesists?
4)If everything we see, do or hear in this material world(which in itself is unreal), how do we believe the knowledge of Advaita or Dwaita or anything else from any guru is real???
Law of Karma does not apply to the highest reality (Atman) but applies to the body, senses, mind and intellect
The word Karma commonly refers to the cycle of forces which is regulated by the law of cause and effect This law gives an opportunity to the individual to learn purity
Its because the dreamer whose quality is consciousness performs out of intention, which manifests as reason and becomes purpose once acted upon. The desire of the atman is to experience its connected and grow to chitta by connecting to paramatman, our own awareness and the awareness of the universe though appearing seperate and actung seperately, does karma through dharma resulting in.gyana to connect to it vyavaharika wise. This dharma is necessary for the spirit. When I said qualities, I was not talking about good and bad, i'd say its about characteristics
Not sure why a summary is repeated when all these are already in these talks?
sharauro its because half assed understanding is dangerous so we clarify it. Many people may just see one part of it which appeals to their prejudices and then ignore the other side which is a carelessness that comes with a cost for the one who teaches
Krishna Mathur c
Karma, birth, rebirth or reincarnation are all in Pratibhasika Satta (relative reality)…they are related to the transmigration of the Subtle body (Sookshma sareera) from one body to another. Once you start dwelling in Paramardhika Satta (absolute reality), none of these matter anymore…for you have distanced yourself from the mind and realized your true identity which is that of witness consciousness (Saakshi-Chaitanyam). How to get to this state and remain there is through Sravana - Manana & Nidhidhyaasana- listening, deep reflection and meditation. Swamiji’s Druk-Drusya-Viveka provides an excellent portal to foray into that realm…
Good luck to all in their spiritual evolution 🙏
Westerners or Indians raised in the West may struggle to comprehend the complexities of karma in Eastern religion. Nonetheless, Staju Jacob book "Karmasutra The karma of ......." provides an intricate and thorough exploration of how the karmic system functions, covering a wide range of topics without resorting to vague Eastern terminology. This book was published in 2016 and different from kama sutra (🙂)...... Hope this great book 'Karmasutra' by Staju Jacob is available soon in various Indian langauges too....I think the author is an Indian .. maybe some sort of guru or something..
👏👋All Divine gradations of Truth/ Reality:
Are there to manifest, prove & reinforce the ULTIMATE TRUTH REALITY👏👋
If an insight is revealed to me in my dreams and that changes the course of my waking life, does that mean that a lower level of reality is affecting a higher one? While the water in the mirage does not wet the sand, it can still mislead the waking travelers.
Yes may be
Thank you Swami Ji ! Is it correct to say that 'enlightened beings' retain causal body which allows them to 'experience' Turiya (I am That/Tat Tvam Asi) and at the same time retain 'some amount' of individuality ?
Body vs states of Mind
Sthoolashareera - with physical body during wakeup (Jagrit avastha)
Sookshma shatters - body in dream State - swapnavatha
Kaaran shareera - causal body - body in Deep sleep.
Turiya - existence of self as background of all the other 3 states and it is the one who is witnessing experiences through other bodies.
'I' is most of the times attached to limitations of body and mind of jagrit avastha. Identifying the presence of the turiya (throughout) & representation from there is 'expression of enlightenment'
Till now this is what I understand from videos of Guruji and other readings in addition to some rare experiences dreams linked to news from relatives!!
Thanks,
Om Namah Shivaya.

Namaste!
I hit the like button for your post, this is my understanding too mostly from Swamiji's videos.
I request you to comment on a Q I have (may not be exactly topical, but closely related at least) -
It is said, - "........ Jiva is the mind super imposed on the atman, / or the atman identified with the mind. ..........jiva is the one that attains moksha because the atman is ever liberated in all eternity......".
From this, is it correct to say the karana sareera / causal body can be equated with jiva ? Is it the same as the concept of "avyaktam"... the "blankness" of deep sleep (is that correct?) ? When the deep sleeper doesn't know anything, and but when he is asked, "who didn't know anything?", and he answers, "I didnt' know anything" or better still "I knew nothing", the "I" who answers to that question..... (not the thinking I because in deep sleep there is no thought).
Thanks in advance.
What he says is true. Do you remember the monk in Vietnam, Thich Quang Duc, who burned himself to death? No normal man could have done that. Only someone who had realized the truth that Swamiji is speaking of here, could have done it.
my body is shivering and giving me goosebumps after watching it.
Suicide is prohibited in Vedas.
BHARATGOPAL RAJAGOPALAN you misunderstand what happened. It was not a “suicide” in the normal sense, any more than it also was not “a barbecue” as Madam Ngo disparagingly put it. It was the ultimate test of conviction in protest against the corruption and violence of a horrible regime. Would you say that Sita in her trial by fire to prove innocence was a suicide or barbecue?
Very nicely explained, Swamiji, namaskaarams
Swamiji - Who is to decide what is good or bad. It is relative right ? So how does Karma works then !
It is a beautiful thing!
